replicateETFSheets uses the idea ofDirect Indexing to replicate the constituents of an ETF or any file of constituents using Alpaca API and Google Sheets. Similar products are offered by brokers with fees however this app if you choose to run it will not have fees unless Google and Alpaca renege.

I strongly recommend to try with Paper-trading first. The rebalance trigger will be costly tax-wise. It can be changed in the triggers portion in Google Apps Script menu or atline before execution.

This is still a Work-In-Progress, contributions will be welcome, ask any questions inDiscussions.

A rebalance trigger is fired every 3 hours and constituents updated everyday at 9:30 ET.
